I'm P2P. I haven't played runescape consitently in quite a while maybe 2 or 3 years so everything is new to me.

 

54 att / 43 str / 49 def. 43 prayer 4 summoning

 

Eventually I want to just be 99 def/range and do slayer tasks/other stuff with range and magic only. But I want 85 combat to do smoking kills before I start on range and slayer. I've gotten up to 60 combat so far by almost purely quest reward experience. I'm really broke (not enough to buy rune so I'm using addy) so I'd like to make some money training on whatever.

Cockroach workers. That is all.

There's nothing that gives better cash/xp than an F2P monster? really?

At such low of a level, no. Not until you get higher and better stats can you get better exp and cash from killing something.

 

How high do you plan on getting your attack and strength levels before just doing def, range, and magic training?

high enough to get 85 combat so i can do smoking kills and just start ranging slayer tasks. 65 att and str will be enough for 85 combat.

 

What about unicorns? I just got over 200k and 16k xp in an hour with them...is cockroaches better than that? It doesn't seem like they would be for some reason.

Cockroaches are better than 16k xp/hr.

 

Tbh at your level I'd just quest and kill w/e you want, everything is quick 'n' easy.

Another reason those soldiers are a good idea is they drop charms. Getting summoning up is always a good thing.

 

I haven't really killed them, but i hear they have some great rune drops and stackable drops. You can also kill Chaos Druids for their herb drops, but you probably get very little combat exp.
